Chapter 100 Proud Li Yan (five thousand words in the big chapter)

A thousand soldiers and horses in Jiangdong quickly climbed the ladder and climbed the city wall, and the soldiers led by Wei Yan were dead and injured and unable to fight again. Only Wei Yan and a few soldiers were still barely supporting.

Eight hundred cavalrymen next to the city wall have climbed the tower as foot soldiers. There is no difficulty for the flying tiger guard to get on the horse for the cavalry and get off the horse as a soldier. And the brocade sail thief also slowly developed from a pawn to a cavalryman in the early years and even became a water thief.

As soon as the flying tiger guard's silver and white armor and two long guns climbed the tower, they were severely damaged by Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, and the Jinfan thief had also put on light armor and waved weapons to kill Jiangdong soldiers.

Jinfan Thief and Feihuwei are not only good at cooperation. Each of them is carefully selected. After several battles, the rest are real elites who can be killed in less than a quarter of an hour. The rest of the soldiers and soldiers and horses are all shocked and look at the eight hundred in front of them. In the killing of people, such a soldier is the real elite. Wei Yan beside him is also excited. Leading such a soldier is the soldier who should be led by a general.

Ling Cao under the city looked at the gloomy face of the Jiangdong soldiers who had been killed, and a thousand soldiers and horses were killed in less than a quarter of an hour. Even he could not fight in person. Cheng Pu beside him also looked solemn. Although the pro-guard is no worse than the Flying Tiger Guard, if it really disarms immediately as a pawn, it will still be affected. It is difficult to solve the battle in such a short time like the Flying Tiger Guard.

Two thousand pro-guards also looked at the massacre. They are the most elite soldiers and horses in Jiangdong. Even if they look at the whole world, they are the elite among the elites. However, today they see the strength of the Flying Tiger Guard. Even they themselves feel that they are not better than the Flying Tiger Guard. Although they are not convinced, they are in their eyes. The shock can be seen.

Cheng Pu looked at the 2,000 pro-guards and shook his head. It was said that these two thousand pro-guards were indeed no better than the Flying Tiger Guards, or even better. After all, Liu Biao can't completely suppress the family in Jiangdong like Sun Ce, but after all, the formation time of these two thousand guards is too short. Although there are a lot of killings, they have not experienced any big battles, and there is no anger and murderous spirit of killing among tens of thousands of troops.

And the Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Dragon Army have experienced dozens of big and small battles since their establishment. Even in the face of enemies that are several times more than themselves, they can be calm and brazenly rushing. And the Jinfan thief experienced a lot of battles under the leadership of Gan Ning, and he rushed all the way to Jiangdong with Liu Qi. Naturally, he would not admit defeat and kill people one by one when he saw the brave battle of Feihuwei.

The short killing made the battle stop. Ling Cao snorted coldly and waved his hand, and another 2,000 soldiers and horses rushed out from behind to Yangxin County, but Wei Yan in the city was already prepared.

Although Wei Yan was shocked by the killing of Feihuwei, he quickly woke up. Seeing that the 2,000 soldiers and horses who rushed out of the Jiangdong army did not dare to neglect, he took the soldiers and poured the hot fire oil on the remaining cloud ladders. A torch threw down the remaining cloud ladders and turned them into flying ash. The 2,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, who had rushed to the city, looked at each other and they didn't know what to do.

Although the Jiangdong army has more than 10,000 people, it does not bring much siege equipment. The only dozens of ladders also lost most of the losses in the battle just now, and Wei Yan burned the remaining ladders, and the 10,000 troops could only look at the city that could be broken at any time and sigh.

Just when the 2,000 troops had no choice, the sound of gold sounded, and the 2,000 troops quickly retreated to the army. Ling Cao looked at Yangxin County and said, "The army camped here and can't let one person in Yangxin County go." More than a dozen personal soldiers immediately conveyed Ling Cao's order, and more than 10,000 troops quickly moved. In just half an hour, more than a dozen camps had been built to surround Yangxin County.

Cheng Pu and Ling Cao sat opposite each other in the central army tent of the Jiangdong Army. Cheng Pu asked, "General Ling, I don't know how long the siege equipment can be transported to this place?"

Ling Cao smiled and said, "General Cheng, don't worry. Chai Sang is less than a hundred miles away from here. The last general has ordered someone to go to Chai Sang to transport the siege equipment. The siege equipment can be delivered to this place by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Cheng Pu was a little worried and said, "Will Jiangxia Huangzu send reinforcements to arrive tomorrow morning? If so, I'm afraid there will be another branch."

Ling Cao shook his head and said, "General Cheng, don't worry. Liu Qi's choice to stick to this place is to wait for reinforcements, but I have already ordered 5,000 navy troops to go to Jiangxia to harass. Huang Zu is not sure that he will not send troops. Moreover, I heard that Liu Qi and the Cai family are not allowed to fight. Huang Zu will definitely take advantage of the attack of the water army in Jiangxia and refuse to send reinforcements. On the contrary, Liu Qi has become a turtle in the urn. As long as the siege equipment arrives to attack Yangxin County, it is easy.

Cheng Pu nodded and he also knew something about the situation in Jingzhou. Compared with Jiangdong, it was a mess of sand. However, he also had another concern: "General Ling, I have seen the 800 cavalry today compared with the general. If Liu Qi saw that there were no reinforcements to break out tomorrow, our army would have suffered heavy losses even if it was blocked. I'd better prepare early."

Ling Cao nodded and said, "Yes, if the eight hundred cavalry are really desperate, maybe they can really send Liu Qi out and have to guard against it. Tomorrow, the general's two thousand guards will not participate in the war for the time being. They will guard on the side to prevent Liu Qi's dog from jumping over the wall." After thinking about it, he said, "We should also strengthen our defenses tonight. We can't let Liu Qi take advantage of it."

After some discussion, the two went to arrange it and arranged layers of defense outside Yangxin County.

At this time, in a mountain forest less than five miles away from Yangxin County, 2,000 Feilongwei were hiding here. When they arrived in Yangxin County, they happened to see the Jiangdong army retreating and camp. The deputy general was relieved to see that there was nothing wrong with Yangxin County. If Yangxin County was really captured, he said that he would not take Feilongwei to rescue Liu Qi, although However, it is not too difficult for Feilongwei to rescue Liu Qi, but it is not too easy. After all, even if more than 10,000 troops in Jiangdong have rescued Liu Qi here, the two thousand Feilongwei will lose more than half.

Seeing that the Jiangdong army retreated and camped, the deputy general was not in a hurry to go to Yangxin County. They were cavalry who could rush to Yangxin County without any defense and then enter the city. But once they enter Yangxin County, it will be difficult for these two thousand cavalry to exert their greatest advantage.

He already knows the weakness of the Jiangdong Army. He doesn't have siege equipment and has to transport siege equipment from the nearest Chai Sang until tomorrow morning. He is going to sneak into Yangxin County tonight to meet the eldest son.

There are some things that Wenpin has not taken into account. Naturally, he should consider it. He used to be just a county magistrate who was promoted to become a deputy general by chance. Jingzhou will not consider or disdain to consider how to do Wenpin in the future, but he has to think about it for Wenpin. When he sees this eldest son, he can also make plans for the future.

When night fell, the deputy general ordered the soldiers beside him a few times before leaving quietly.

There was no one outside the patrol men in Yangxin County. The battle during the day had shocked the people in the city. They closed their doors one by one and dared not go out.

In the county government, Liu Qi and others are discussing tomorrow's affairs. In addition to Wang Yi, Gan Ning unexpectedly also has Wei Yan. Being able to attend such a meeting is undoubtedly Liu Qi's affirmation of him. Although Liu Qi has not clearly said that he will accept him, he has already felt that Liu Qi has recognized him in his heart. As long as he works hard, he can be accepted by Liu Qi, just like Gan Ning, he is on an equal footing with Wang Yi of Jingzhou Feihuwei.

Liu Qi looked at several people and asked, "How's it going outside?"

Wei Yan was responsible for garrisoning the city wall. Hearing Liu Qi ask, "The soldiers and horses in Jiangdong have surrounded Yangxin County. It seems that they should be waiting for the attack equipment, and the defense outside Yangxin County is tight, even if it is a sneak attack, it is impossible to succeed."

Liu Qi and others nodded. Cheng Pu and Ling Cao are both Jiang Dong veterans who will naturally not make the mistakes of underescaping the enemy, and the two people they can think of can also think of. Liu Qi looked at Gan Ning and said, "When can the soldiers sent out for help come back as soon as possible?"

Gan Ning thought for a moment and said, "The soldiers going to Jiangxia should be able to return within two hours, and Nanjun can't return until at least late at night. If there are reinforcements coming, they can reach Yangxin County tonight, and they can reach Yangxin County at the latest tomorrow morning.

Liu Qi was silent. He was not worried about the reinforcements in Nan County, but Jiang Xia's reinforcements were unpredictable. The Feilong Army in Nan County was loyal to Liu Biao. Whether it is Liu Qi or Liu Cong trapped in the city, Wen Ping will definitely come to the rescue. It's hard to say about Jiang Xia's Huang Zu. As long as he has a little selfishness to postpone the time of sending reinforcements, he can easily push Liu Qi's death to Jiang Dong. If he directly finds an excuse not to come, it will be even more troublesome.

If the reinforcements of Nanjun County can't arrive before Jiangdong's siege equipment arrives tomorrow morning, it will be easy for Jiangdong to take Yangxin County with only hundreds of ladders to Yangxin County.

Liu Qi looked at several people and asked, "Do you have any other way?"

Wang Yi raised his head and said, "If it doesn't work, then break through the siege in advance. The flying tiger guard will definitely send the eldest son out of the city. As long as he goes out of the city at the speed of the shadow, no one can catch up with the eldest prince."

Gan Ning also nodded and said, "Yes, 800 cavalry is enough to send the master safely out of the city. As long as you think about the path in advance, you can get rid of the pursuers in Jiangdong."

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "No, there are too many casualties. If so, why don't I leave early and stay here with you?" Although Liu Qi believes in the strength of Feihuwei and Jinfan thieves, he is afraid that 800 cavalry will be killed and injured after rushing out of the siege of 10,000 troops. At present, the most elite soldiers and horses under him can never give up until the last moment.

Seeing that Liu Qi refused Wang Yi and Gan Ning and wanted to persuade him again, he listened to Liu Qi wave his hand and said, "You don't have to persuade me anymore, I won't agree."

Wang Yi and Gan Ning looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. They had persuaded Liu Qi more than once, but Liu Qi always refused without hesitation. The two had made up their minds that if they really couldn't do anything, they would tie Liu Qi away.

Wei Yan said, "If you know how to sneak in the night, the eldest son can also leave the city unconsciously. As long as the eldest son comes out of the city, I can wait for the eldest son to come to save the soldiers when I persist in the city."

As soon as Wei Yan finished speaking, Gan Ning and Wang Yi said with one voice, "No." Wang Yi looked at Wei Yan and said, "It's too dangerous for the eldest son to do this. Once he is found, he can't escape, not to mention that the eldest son doesn't know how to sneak."

Gan Ning also said with a serious face, "How can the body of the lord's daughter take a risk?"

Both of them looked at Wei Yan with reproach. Wei Yan knew that he had said something wrong and quickly got up and bowed down: "Please forgive me."

Liu Qi waved his hand and helped Wei Yan up and said, "It's just to express your own opinions. There's nothing wrong with you. Although this plan is dangerous, it can reduce losses, which is a good plan. He knew that Wei Yan was good at risking, and he did not blame Wei Yan.

Wei Yan was a little excited. Liu Qi's ability to evaluate his plan so fairly made him a little astringent. He looked up at Liu Qi and said, "Big son..."

Liu Qi asked Wei Yan to sit down again and said, "You can say so. How can I act at will if I don't be fully sure?"

Hearing Liu Qi's words, Wang Yi, Gan Ning was relieved. Indeed, if he was not fully sure that Liu Qi would not make a decision, but just now, when they heard Liu Qi praise Wei Yan's plan, the two still sweated.

Wei Yan nodded and didn't say anything. He had secretly decided to work for Liu Qi. Liu Qi just asked him to participate in the meeting, which really made him a little complacent, and he didn't want to say such a plan. At this time, I couldn't help sweating behind my back. If you change a person, let alone give him such a fair evaluation, you may drive him out directly. If you change your temper, you may directly pull him out and cut him off. It is his blessing to meet a master like Liu Qi.

Liu Qi didn't care about this episode and continued to discuss the plan with the three people. After discussing for a long time, nothing came out, so they had to wait for the news of Jiangxia and Nanjun's return.

At this moment, a soldier of the Flying Tiger Guard ran in and said, "The eldest son, there is a man who claims to be the messenger of the Flying Dragon Army."

Liu Qi was shocked and said, "Let him in."

Gan Ning was a little worried and said, "Master, I'm not sure whether this person's identity should be confirmed by the last general first." Wang Yi, who was beside him, also said, "Yes, it is reasonable that the Flying Dragon Army can't arrive in Nanjun at this time. The eldest son should be careful."

Liu Qi shook his head and smiled and said, "Wait here, are you afraid that this person can't play anything? Besides, although my martial arts skills are not high, I can protect myself enough." Wang Yi, Gan Ning and Wei Yan really don't have many people in the world who can assassinate themselves in front of them. Besides, he has been practicing the swordsmanship taught by Zhang Bo these days, but he has not spent too much time practicing swords. He already knows Zhang Bo's intention. Zhang Bo taught him swordsmanship just to protect himself. After all, he is in his early twenties and it's a little late to learn martial arts.

Before long, two flying tiger guards came in with a man in black. The two flying tiger guards looked at the man in black warily, but the man in black was at ease.

Liu Qi waved his hand to let the two flying tiger guards go down and looked at the masked man in black: "Since he is the general of the Flying Dragon Army, why not show his true face?"

The man in black did not speak but looked at Liu Qi quietly. Wang Yi, Gan Ning and Wei Yan looked at the man in black with a wary face. As long as he made a little action, he would kill him.

After staring at dozens of people in black, he took a scarf and showed a rather elegant face and hugged Liu Qi and said, "Li Yan has seen the eldest son."

Wang Yi, who had not yet spoken, was shocked and said, "It's you!" Gan Ning beside him, Wei Yan looked at Wang Yi with a doubtful face, and even Liu Qi looked at Wang Yi with some doubts.

When Wang Yi saw Liu Qi, he said suspiciously, "Sir, this man is the deputy general of the Flying Dragon Army and a general pulled up by General Wenpin."

Liu Qi nodded and did not ask again. He looked at Li Yan and asked, "But has General Wen's army arrived?" Li Yan, Liu Qi naturally knows. One of the two orphaned ministers at the time of Liu Bei's death, his status was only lower than that of Zhuge Liang in the Shu Han Dynasty, but later he was negligent but afraid of bearing mistakes. He sent completely opposite letters to deceive Zhuge Liang to shirk his responsibility and was dismissed. After Zhuge Liang's death, he sighed that no one would use him to die of grief and indignation from now on.

Li Yan was also a sad figure in the Three Kingdoms period. Before his death, Liu Bei appointed him as the Shang Shuling. Zhong Duhu and Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Chan together, but because Zhuge Liang's statement was that he was jealous, he failed to hate for thousands of years.

It's just that Li Yan should be a minor official under Liu Biao at this time. How could he become a deputy general of Wenpin made Liu Qi a little puzzled.

Hearing Liu Qi's words, Li Yan shook his head and said, "I would have led 2,000 flying dragon guards to arrive first, while the general would lead the brigade to arrive later."

Hearing that Li Yan claimed that Liu Qi was a little funny, Li Yan was so arrogant that he couldn't even subdue Zhuge Liang. Liu Qi didn't care about Gan Ning, Wang Yi and Wei Yan all frowned. Obviously, they were quite dissatisfied with Li Yan. It's just that Liu Qi didn't say anything, and they couldn't say anything. In addition, only Wang Yi could keep pace with him in Li Yan's official position, and the three of them didn't say anything.

Liu Qi smiled and said, "How did General Li know that Yangxin County was besieged?"

Li Yan said what happened on the road, and then said Liu Biao's order. Only then did Liu Qi understand that when he ordered people to ask for help, the Flying Dragon Army was already on the way. Hearing this, Liu Qi smiled and said, "In this case, I'm afraid General Wen won't have to wait until tomorrow morning to get to Yangxin County."

Li Yan nodded and didn't say anything. Liu Qi pointed aside and said, "General Li, you'd better sit down first. Since General Wen can arrive in advance, I need to discuss the next thing later. Wenpin's 20,000 flying dragons are all elite. Even if they can't completely annihilate 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, they can be severely damaged.

Hearing Liu Qi's words, Li Yan understood and immediately said loudly, "I would have a plan to break the Jiangdong army."
